Dislyte Arthur Guide: How to Use Transmission and Build Teams

To play Arthur (Taranis) effectively in Dislyte, apply his signature Transmission debuff to a frontline target, then concentrate incoming attacks onto that marked enemy to chain indirect lightning damage across the rest of the opposing squad. Arthur operates as a Wind-element Fighter who converts focused single-target pressure into broad area-of-effect (AoE) burst.

How Transmission Works

Transmission redirects a portion of the offensive damage dealt to an afflicted unit directly outward to neighboring enemies. Rather than depending exclusively on standard AoE damage multipliers, Arthur's output scales by using the marked target as a lightning conduit.

This mechanic provides two distinct tactical benefits:

• Bypassing Protected Enemies: High-priority backline damage dealers shielded behind damage-mitigation buffs or tank mechanics take indirect damage whenever hits land on the marked frontline unit.
• Amplified Focus Fire: Because redirect triggers occur when the afflicted target takes damage, having allies focus attacks on that single enemy continuously damages surrounding foes.

Do not split attacks across unlinked targets while Transmission is active. Direct your primary strikes at the afflicted unit to maximize chained damage.

Ability Rotation

Arthur's skills focus on applying Transmission, triggering chained lightning, and executing AoE strikes.

In manual combat, open with Arthur's secondary skill (S2) to establish Transmission. Follow immediately with his third skill (S3) to strike the field and trigger multi-target lightning bursts. Use his basic attack (S1) on the marked target during cooldown turns to maintain steady passive pressure.

Team Compositions and Synergies

Arthur has moderate base speed and relies on hitting marked targets, which requires specific team support:

• Action Point (AP) Pushers: Units such as Dahlia, Unas, or Tiye advance Arthur's turn order. Moving early allows Arthur to set up Transmission and unleash his S3 burst before enemy supports can establish Immunity or Invincibility shields.
• Defense Breakers: Because Transmission redirect damage is calculated from the actual damage dealt to the primary target, inflicting Defense Down or Sear on the marked unit increases the lightning damage spreading to secondary targets.
• Fast Multi-Hit Attackers: Teammates with rapid multi-hit attacks who focus down the Transmission bearer trigger continuous shockwaves throughout their turns.

Matchup Limitations

Arthur faces clear performance drops against specific mechanics and team compositions:

• Solitary Bosses: Transmission requires additional targets to chain damage. In boss encounters with no accompanying minions, Arthur functions merely as a standard single-target damage dealer without his primary damage multiplier.
• Immunity and Cleanse: Fast immunity granters like Gabrielle and cleansers like Clara remove or block Transmission before Arthur can detonate it. When facing heavy cleanse setups, include a fast buff dispeller to strip enemy immunity before Arthur acts.
• Inferno-Heavy Lineups: As a Wind Esper, Arthur suffers hit penalties and reduced critical hit rates when attacking Inferno-attuned enemies. Avoid fielding him as the primary carry against Inferno-dominated defensive teams.
